The Federal government through the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has sought the assistance of the Japan International Cooperation Agency in securing potential co-financing support for the ambitious Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-up Project, a critical initiative aimed at expanding the reach of renewable energy nationwide.
Report says the $750 million World Bank-assisted programme implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency, is to provide electricity to 17.5 million Nigerians.

Adelabu made the request during a high-level delegation of key stakeholders in Nigeria’s power sector to Japan to strengthen bilateral energy partnerships.
